Anyone heard from gunman1911?

[blackwolfe]

Does anyone know if Gunman was a poster on any other forums?
I'm pretty sure he was on rugerforum.com under the user name gunman.
Iposted a note in the lounge section of the ruger forum to let those forum members know.

blackwolfe,

Can you browse back through the weeks on the other forum?  I'm thinking that as open as he was with us here he might have said something there as well.

Doesn't look like he posted there a lot, His last post was June20th.  I'm not to computer savy, but I think I can post a link to his post.

I can only echo what others have said, he was a man who gave respect and earned it too. He was a good guy. He will be missed.

Sorry to hear the news of gunman1911. I will miss hearing from him.

R.I.P my friend!

Haven't heard back from the funeral home yet...

I checked 1911 forums ,,,,no luck

[Teresa Heilevang]

The gal was with a family when I called.. I explained a little bit of why I wanted the contact information for Sonja.
She said that she would call me right back ..but never did. I will keep trying ..

Good Morning guys..........


Just got off the phone with the Funeral Home and I have information.

Sonja is very sick with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). That is a lung disease in which the lung is damaged, making it hard to breathe.
So leaving the house is hard for her because of the oxygen machine.

 She has no phone and right now.. no computer
The gal I talked to said that it is very hard to communicate with her (time wise) as she has to send her notes, letters  etc in the mail. She said that she has been doing this with all the online sympathy notes that she has gotten. Just prints them off and send them to her. ( Said she had quite a few from people from a gun forum.... **way to go guys**  )
I explained what we were planning and she thought that was a wonderfully nice thing to do.And she said that this lady can sure use the money to help with the bills etc.

 I have her address:

Sonja Raddatz
PO Box 680
Onaway, Michigan   49765

So..................................
Since my head is fluff with rules for this shoot... you all plan it.. Decide who you want to send the money to hold..and then send on to Sonja. Get the rules down and list them so that they are understood.....
If everyone wants to take a picture of their finished target.. and send it to me.. I will make a short video in honor of Gunman 1911 and show them here on Down Range.  (easier than filtering through the posts..)

Thats' it..
Oh yeah.. hope you enjoyed your breakfast this morning. ( a little something I whipped up for you by the campfire. )  We had 28 degrees here this morning. Mother Nature had a thick glistening of frost on everything. It was crisp and with the sun waking up.. it was beautiful. You know.. despite the gloom that Obama puts on the world.............
Mother Nature and God are so good!
